The most aperitif-friendly oily fish in our collection of canned horse mackerel

Horse mackerel, jurel or chicharro in Spanish, is one of the most popular oily fish on our coasts, and in a tin it almost always comes as small pieces: the jurelillos. In this selection of canned horse mackerel you will find them in olive oil and in escabeche.

Jurelillos: small and whole

As with sardinillas, the small horse mackerel is the most prized in a tin: tender flesh, soft bones and a finer flavour than the adult fish. They are eaten whole, in one bite, and are among the most aperitif-friendly tins there are.

Choose your tin

• In escabeche: Ramón Franco's jurelillo and José Gourmet's horse mackerel. The mild vinegar cuts the richness of the oily fish.
• In olive oil: Ramón Peña's jurelillos and Briosa's jurelitos.

Before serving

Room temperature, with a cocktail stick and bread. The escabeche ones with a cold beer or a vermouth.
